Events that prove
that San Suu Kyi has western backing
In 1996 San Suu Kyi
was first detained and imprisoned and shortly after in the same year the U.S.
created a broadcasting media under the name of ‘Radio Free Asia’ to broadcast
in East Asia, a part of the Broadcasting Board of Governors that is a United
States government agency and receives full funding from U.S budget. This radio
station is seen as a staunch supporter of San Suu Kyi and helped build her
reputation throughout her 15 years in prison to become the world’s most famous
political prisoner. It is funded by U.S. and located in Washington – one of
many ways America uses the media to push its political aims.
Her arrest and subsequent trial received worldwide
condemnation by the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, the United Nations
Security Council and Western governments.
In 2006 a
Washington based organisation called ‘Freedom Now’ which mainly focuses on
releasing democratic activists, i.e. those activists that America has placed in
certain countries to push reforms and democracy, had enlisted San Suu Kyi as
their goal to release from prison.
Freedom Campaign,
which is a joint venture between the Human Rights Action Center and U.S.
Campaign for Burma have events planned to stage huge concerts with well-known
talents such as Black-Eyed Peas and Damien Rice to raise awareness about San
Suu Kyi as well as gain more popularity for democratic alternatives to military
rule. They have also released a documentary film ‘Freedom from Fear’ that will
be secretly filmed in Burma via satellite – this movie is focusing on the life
of San Suu Kyi.
U.S. Campaign for
Burma is a democracy movement in Burma that evolved out of the ‘Free Burma
Coalition’ that also was established in the U.S. at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison. Its aims changed slightly in 2008 to be primarily focused on
ending military rule in Burma for a democratic rule under San Suu Kyi. Yet
another movement directly funded by the National Endowment for Democracy and
Open Society George Soros Foundation. One of its few missions states “To
strengthen the position of the rightful leaders of Burma, 1991 Nobel Peace
Prize recipient Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and the democratically elected National
League for Democracy, by cutting the political and economic lifelines of the
ruling military junta”
Burma Campaign UK
is a UK based NGO that has similar aims to the U.S. Campaign for Burma and has
been vocal in the issue of Rohingyan Muslims persecution. It seems from the
apparent that they are using the pretext of inequality to push an all-inclusive
democratic Burma representing the people, i.e. participatory democracy. However
San Suu Kyi has remained silent on the issue of Burmese Muslims genocide and
ethnic cleansing – mainly due to the credibility the party would lose from the
Buddhist majority.
U.S. President Barack Obama personally advocated the release
of all political prisoners, especially Aung San Suu Kyi, during the US-ASEAN
Summit of 2009.
In a personal letter to Suu Kyi, UK Prime Minister Gordon
Brown cautioned the Burmese government of the potential consequences of rigging
elections as "condemning Burma to more years of diplomatic isolation and
economic stagnation"
On 21 December 2011, Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra
(a known U.S. agent backed and funded by the West) met Suu Kyi in Yangoon.
Shinawatra regime have been known to have conducted mass murder and genocide in
Thailand but the U.S. have never bat an eyelid on the issue, but rather they
have expressed concern o Shinawatra leader Yingluck’s removal from power in
2014.
The link between U.S. National Endowment for Democracy, George Soros’ Open
Society and Burma
In the DFID (Department for International Development)
policy review of Burma titled ‘Failing the People of Burma’[1]
it states:
“The restoration of
democracy in Burma is a priority U.S.
policy objective in Southeast Asia. To achieve this objective, the United
States has consistently supported
democracy activists and their
efforts both inside and outside Burma…Addressing these needs requires
flexibility and creativity. Despite the challenges that have arisen, United
States Embassies Rangoon and Bangkok as well as Consulate General Chiang Mai
are fully engaged in pro-democracy efforts. The United States also supports
organizations, such as the National
Endowment for Democracy, the Open Society Institute and Internews, working
inside and outside the region on a broad range of democracy promotion
activities. U.S.-based broadcasters supply news and information to the Burmese
people (i.e. Radio Free Asia), who
lack a free press. U.S. programs also fund scholarships for Burmese who
represent the future of Burma”
It goes on to specifically state San Suu Kyi as a specific
aim for these broadcasting services:
“RFA/VOA In addition
to programs supported by Burma earmark funding, the United States also
continues to fund multimedia broadcasting services for the Burmese people
independent of the influence of the military junta in Rangoon. Both Voice of America (VOA) and Radio Free Asia
(RFA) have Burmese services. VOA broadcasts a 30-minute mix of
international news and information three times a day. RFA broadcasts news and
information about Burma two hours a day. VOA and RFA websites also contain
audio and text material in Burmese and English. For example, VOA's October 10,
2003 editorial, "Release Aung San
Suu Kyi" is prominently
featured in the Burmese section of VOAnews.com. RFA's website makes
available audio versions of 16 Aung San
Suu Kyi's speeches from May 27
and 29, 2003. U.S. international broadcasting provides crucial information to a
population denied the benefits of freedom of information by its government.
Broadcasts reach a broad spectrum of society and a broad swathe of the country,
influencing Burmese decision-makers and offering support to future democratic
leaders. Anecdotal evidence indicates that government officials listen to these
broadcasts frequently…The State Department provided $150,000 in FY 2001/02
funds to provide scholarships to young Burmese through Prospect Burma, a
partner organization with close ties to Aung San Suu Kyi”
Link between San Suu Kyi and Ashin Wirathu, the lead Buddhist that is
ordering the genocide of Muslims in Burma
The “Saffron Revolution” movements in Burma were
historically aimed at calling for greater freedom from the oppressive military
junta regimes in both Thailand and Burma with San Suu Kyi being the figurehead
for the movement. However the most recent rally called for the expulsion of
Muslims, often referred to as ‘Kalars’ (Blacks) or ‘Bengali’. The fact they
came to the streets to deny thousands of Muslims to be represented as Burmese
is quite obvious that the aim of the “Saffron” movements is aimed at harming
the Muslims and not for the greater ‘freedom’, which is a flawed ideal in
itself.
Ashin Wirathu, also known as the "Buddhist Bin
Laden," led Aung San Suu Kyi's "Saffron Revolution" in 2007 and
his followers regularly fill the ranks of street mobs organized in support of
her political party, the National League for Democracy (NLD). Both Suu Kyi's
NLD and her "Saffron" mobs, are fully funded, backed, protected by,
and in absolute servile obedience to both US and British special interests.
San Suu Kyi remains silent on her links with the Buddhist
extremist Wirathu but their alliance is quite clear. Washington Post[2]
reported on the state of Sittwe where the Muslims have been persecuted the
most:
“Often these attacks
have been spearheaded by the same orange-robed monks who led a series of
demonstrations against the junta in 2007, known as the "Saffron
Revolution". A warped and violent version of Buddhism has grasped hold of
many monasteries in Burma, with hate-speech directed against Muslims across the
country, and particularly the Rohingya. Mosques have been attacked, villages
set on fire and thousands chased from their homes. Massacres have leapt from
village to village in Rakhine State, with machetes the weapon of choice.”
A video that proves that the authorities in Burma are
allowing the ethnic cleansing of Muslims is viral, it shows “Burmese police officers stand by as an
already bruised and bleeding middle-aged Muslim man is tied by his ankles behind
a motorbike by Buddhist youths. There is cheering as the bike roars off down
the rock-strewn road, flaying skin from the bouncing body as it goes.” Now
almost a quarter of a million Rohingya have been rounded up into concentration
camps along Rakhine's low-lying coastline.
Wirathu wears a deep-blue tattoo of a peacock on his inner
arm - symbol of Aung San Suu Kyi's National League For Democracy party.
Summary
Events in Burma may not be directly in line with the Greater
Middle East Initiative but it is still important in terms of the persecution of
Muslims and the shedding of the Ummah’s blood. This written piece aims to
provide tangible facts to the situation in Burma and how Western NGO’s that the
Muslims consider as ‘support’ are in fact funding the downfall of Islam.
National Endowment for Democracy and Open Society are the biggest players in
this field and has funded huge pro-democratic developments within the Middle
East, such as the April 6th movement and other movements during the
Arab spring. These are hard facts and by understanding how Western democracy
funding organisations distribute its ‘support’ we can ultimately understand its
venom as well as identify those groups, movements and parties that are Western
led.
